SILVER CITY AVALANCHE.

The acquaintances of Mrs. H. G.
Brainard, residing in Silver City,
and in the vicinity of Pleasant and
Jordan Nalleys, were startled on
Thursday, when Dan Connors, of
Trout creek, rode into town for the
purpose of announcing her sudden
death. In a few minutes after
wards coroner Belknap, and others
were on the road to her residence in
Pleasant Valley, some twenty-five
miles distant. Arriving there, they
found that the deceased had shot
herself in the right side of the head
with a Al Colts revolver, the ball
having passed through. Death
must have been instantaneous. She
4eft few lines on the leaf of book
addressed to Mr.. T. Regan, the sub
stance of which was that she was
incapable of taking care of the
property left her by her husband,
which was more than she could
bear, and requesting that the Ma
sonic order, of which her husband
was a member, would bury her
body by the side of his. There
were many friends present to
pay their last respects to her mem
ory and preparing her body for the
grave. The deceased was univer-
sally beloved by all who knew her,
and that she should have taken her
own life is beyong the comprehen-
sion of her many friends, and can
not be explained, in any manner
other than she did it while laboring
under temporary fit of insanity,
which was the cause assigned by
the coroner's jury,

arrived on the scene with writ of

kept on dancing till the last car

men suspected of being implicated
In the affair
Mrs. Bailey, his wife, says that
about 10 clock in the evening he
was sitting near window when
suddenly a shot was fired through
the window and he fell forward
dead. An examination of the body
showed that a terrible hole had
been blown through his head and
his brains were scattered over the
room 1t was siekening sight to
those who visited the spot next
morning. From what the officers
could learn Bailey had been in
volved in some sort of financial
trouble with a negro named Tony
Banning who came here last Sum

Mrs. Bailey said, was only Sc.
The officers also arrested Bailey's
on-in law, but Mrs. Bailey says
that he was in bed at the time of
the shooting. Both men, however.

THE IRRIGATION QUESTION
some Practical Ideas on the
Subject.
UNIoNyILLE, Jan. 10, 1887

KNOXVILLE, Jan. 10, 1887.
Editor Sitrer State-I see in the
Silver State several views and opin-
ionss.regarding irrigation, and the
best method of saying the surplus
waters of the State, and desire to
express my opinion on the subject
There are but two ways Of max
ing Nevada an agricultural State,
one by artesian water, the other by
building reservoirs to catch the
snow water from the mountains. If
We cannot get artesian water let
the Legislature ask Congress to
make an appropriation fer building
such reservoirs, as may be neces-
sary to save water to irrigate our
valleys, If an appropriation Is
made, advantage can be taken of
nature by building dams across the
mouths Of canyons, which would
make large reservoirs, and if one
canyon is not sufficient tunnel
through the narrow ridges which
separates canyons in many places
and enlarge the reservoirs BY dam
Ing another canyon. By this
method the Spring freshets could
be saved, and utilized later in the
season, and the valleys be trans
formed from deserts to vineyards.
Water commissioners could be ap-
pointed by the State to regulate
the flow and allow each farmer So
much water per acre.
Surely Congress, which so liber-
ally appropriates money for i'm
provements in other States, ought
to do little for Nevada. It may
cost more to build reservoirs than
the land is worth at present. but,
the improvements would be perma-
nent, and the State and General
Government eventually would get |
the money back, and besides it
would make Nevada with It's pro-
ductive and healthful climate one
of the best States In the Union.
